on

that

that
the

repeatedly

to

for

as
long

it'did
not
take
an
aroused
community
loing
to
unite
as
a
single
and
unanimous
voice
in
vigorous
protest
at
the
implementation
of
any
such
move.
Seldom
if
ever
had
such
united
spon-taniety
been
manifested
here
as
indicated

Fortunately,
the
propsal
was
discovered
in
time
to
give
some
cBance
to
the
vigorous
effort
to
head
iti
off.
Prince
Rupert
has
worked
too
Jtjng
to
be
thus
denied
by
any
sudden
lrjove
on
the
part
of
Army
authorities
to
get
themselves
in
possession
of
a
-building
which
might
be
a
very
fine
officers'
club
but
which
would
have,
little
to
recommend
it
in
any
other
way
such
as
an
armory
for
which
it
is
ostensibly
being
sought.
!'
It
was
hard
for
the
public
to
understand
why
any
such
move
should
be
made
at
the
eleventh
hour
to
frustrate
the
Civic

or
set

which;
came
to

less
than

seiore
the

wis
to
be
talcen
over
as
a
Civic
Centre.
!Led
by
the
Civic
Centre
Association
and
the
city
council,
all
least
20
organizations
have
dispatched
telegrams
to
the
Department
of
National
Defence
and
Department
of
War
Services
ai
Ottawa
urging
the
government
carry
out
its
original
commitment
of
turning
the
building
over
to
the
citizens
of
Prince:
Rupert
as
a
Civic
Cen-t.
i
So
unanimous
was
the
wave
of
objection
which
resulted
In
the
flood
of
tejegrams
to
Ottawa
that
one
local
cltizea
re-trferked
that
it
was
the
"first
tijne
lrt
history
that
everybody
inj
Prince

got
together

agreea
on
ine
same
tning.'
The
Army's
Intention
to
grab
the
"Y"
building
rrom
under
the
pdlsed
hand
of
the
Civic
Centre
organization
became
apparent
whether
the
government
will
permit
any
such
barefaced
repudiation
of
undertaking
with
this
community
or
flouting
of
aroused
public
opinion.
It
might
have
been
just
in
the
nick
of
time
but
there
is
reason
to
believe
that
our
civic
centre
will
yet
be
saved.
Government
intervention
we
are
confident
will
head
off
this
crass
whim
on
the
part
of
the
military
authorities.
Battle-line
1946
It
is
not
enough
that
we
welcome
back
our
servicemen
after
their
magnificent
service
at
home
and
abroad.
We
must
meet
their
employment
problems
.by
a
canvass
of
every
business
firm
if
needs
be.
Above
all
we
must
let
them
know
we
are
prepared
to
face
the
future
together,
not
as
though
we
are
strangers
or
they
interlopers.
The
prevailing
'popular
mood
should
be
for
a
sympathetic
understanding
rather
than
any
"brush-off."
If
Prince
Rupert
employment
opportunities
are
insufficient
to
absorb
at
least
those
who
went
from
here
to
the
war
then
immediate
action
must
be
instituted
to
create
new
opportunities
by
expansionist
policies
on
the
part
of
business
and
government.
It
may
be
safely
said
that
Prince
Rupert
is
one
of
the
brightest
spots
in
all
B.
C.
for
potential
developments.
These
must
be
brought
into
active
purpose
without
delay.
Dominion,
provincial,
municipal
governments
and
business
should
speed
up
their
plans
for
post-war
expansion.
Leadership
may
have
to
come
from
private
business,
for
the
slothfulncss
of
all
governments
to
take
action
on
their
planning
is
appallingly
disappointing.
In
the
meantime,
however,
those
in
business
who
are
alleged
to
rebuff
the
veteran
when
seeking
employment
should
resolve
to
accord
him
not
only
a
welcome
but
a
helping
hand
to
secure
employment.
Such
a
resolution
must
come
from
the
heart.
It
must
be
the
reflection
of
an
abiding
faith
in
our'future
as
a
city
and
in
the
destiny
of
our
nation.
Above
all
it
must
be
sincere,
so
that
the
sincerity
is
reflected
by
our
actions
and
.deeds
toward
those
to
whom
we
owe
so
much.
It
starts
with
ourselves
and
extends
throughout
the
entire
any
development
of
the
Army's
scheme
to
"grab"
the
building.
Conflict
Between
Two
Departments
The
dispute,
it
now
appears,
has
developed
into
a
conflict
between
the
Departments
War
Services,
which
is
willing
to
honor
its
commitment,
and
the
'Department
of
National
Defence,
whose
main
concern
Is
to
provide
attractions
and
facilities
for
an
active
and
reserve
army
which
will
be
charged
with
control
of
Prince
Rupert
According
to
Information
last
night
it

War
Semces,
as
rep
resented
by
Alan
Hurst,
its
B.
C.
director,
is
solidly
behind
the
original
scheme
of
turning
over
the
building
to
the
citizens
of
Prince
Rupert
as
a
Civic
Centre.
Telegrams
dispatched
by
local
organizations
yesterday
reminded
the
government
of
its
commitment
in
regard
to
the
"Y"
building
and
emphasized
the
serious
need
for
such
a
facility
by
the
people
of
this
city.
They
pointed
out
that,
on
the
strength
of
the
Cepartment
of
War
Services
"go
ahead"
signal
on
January
9,
the
Civic
Centre
organization
had
employed
a
'permanent
staff
and
made
other
long-term
arrangements
which
will
cause
it
great
embarras-ment
Is
they
have
to
be
abruptly
terminated.
Several
teregranis-
charged
that,
to
allow
the
army
to
take
the
building
from
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert,
would
constitute
a
"breach
of
agreement
and
a
breach
of
faith"
on
the
part
of
fche
government.
The
situation
as
it
existed
at
that
time
was
explained
to
city
council
last
night
by
Mr.
Forward,
who
presented
himself
,
along
with
Maurice
Brydges,

suggested
that
a
probable
explanation
wculd
lie
in
the
Defence
Department's
attempt
to
attract
men
to
the
postwar
army
by.
providing
attractive

in

"They

and
they
are
quite
aware
of
the
in-1
adequacy
of
the
present
armory,"
lie
said.
Other
aldermen
wanted
to
know
why
the
Army
does
not
make
use
of
the
naval
drill
hall
or
some
other
unoccupied
military
building
suitable
for
the
purpose.
Opinion
among
many
citizens
who
are
ex-army
men
li
thai
the
Y.M.C.A.
building
is
not
suitable
for
an
armory
and
that
the
military
authorities
-would
soon
realize
it
and
abandon
th
building
anyway.
Prince
Rupert's
Solid
Claim
Prince
Rupert's
claim
to
the
building
dates
from
the
time
when
its
construction
was
approved
on
the
Informal
agreement
that
the
buildlnt
would
be
put
up
proving
the
Civic
Centre
Association
would
take
it
off
the
government's
hands
after
the
end
of
the
war.
Con
slderable
correspondence
in
this
regard
is
on
file
with
the
Civic
Centre
Association
and
Jj
be
ing
used'
to
justify
its
claim.
The
building
Itself
is
constructed
on
property
part
of
which
was
owned
by
the
provincial
government
and
part
of
which
still
is
owned
by
the
city.
Agreement
to
turn
the
property
over
to
the
Department
of
War
Services
for
a
nominal
sum
of
$1
was
completed
in
the
case
of
the
provincial
government
but,
In
the
case
of
the
city,
it
never
ijecame
effective
because
the
government
department
neglected
to
make
payment
of
the
$1.
Consequently,
part
of
the
property
on-which
the
building
sits
belongs
to
the
city.
